Bathroom. Make it HUGE.

Renovate? Neither of those -- bathroom and kitchen, the two most valuable existing rooms in your house from a resale value.
Furnish? If you have to decide between furnishing your bedroom or your living you, you should not be buying a house.

I always do the entire house.
But bedroom would be priority between these two.

Kitchen first, definitely.

Living room.
That's the main room of any house and you can't have people sitting on moving boxes with your TV leaned up against the wall.

Damn so you have to be above saving up, to be a home owner?
To be exact
Its a house ive been living in for a long time however i am not happy with the furniture/ design
I want to update the room but will do one at a time and wanted some input
I do renovations every day. I mostly see bedrooms and l\r done at the same time as the products I install are generally the same for both. In terms of resale value it's a gamble. You could spend 20k on new H\W floors and they day after you sell it, the new owner could be taking it out.

Yeah this. I barely use my living room and I use my bedroom to sleep. It's my kitchen and bathroom I'm using more than any other room, but my office is the number 1 room I'd renovate if I had the money because I spend most of my time in it.
Thanks guys but jus to clarify its not for resale or anything
Im jus trying to revamp my rooms
A nice living room or a nice bedroom

Whenever I move in for the first time, I'd always invest in a good bed, nothing else. I mean seriously you'd need THAT awesome sleep for a third of your life, get that out of the way.
After that, redoing the whole living room would be my second option in your question. I mean I wouldn't bother furnishing the bedroom a whole lot outside of getting a good bed itself.

Bedrooms should just be for sleeping, and sex. One of the best realizations I ever came to. Move the computer to the living room, or another room altogether.
From your choices, I would do the Living Room first, but also invest in a quality mattress as well. We spend most of our (waking) time in our Living room. So that's why I'd do it first.
Well no way my main computer will go to the living room
Possibly my man cave/home office though
Order of priority:
Kitchen
Bathroom
Living room
Bedroom
I've flipped a few houses and this is how we always spend our budget. Kitchen's and baths are PITA to redo but worth it. Bedroom and living rooms cost very little comparitivley. Hell, a bit of paint and new floors/carpets is pretty easy and make a world of difference.

I'd probably split it between the two to be honest, but it depends on a few factors. Number one would be getting a new bed if you hate yours since it's where you spend a good chunk of your life. Then, I'd focus on the living room since that's where guests would see, but obviously that depends on how often you entertain.
My bed is fine but its a twin
I will be moving into the big room soon and i want all new furnitures so ill be getting a queen or king size bed in addition to all the other stuff
As for living room i dont entertain much but i still want a nice swanky place
